Had this once as an appetizer in Montreal. Went back to try to beg the
recipe and rest. was closed. Honey is IN the french fry, not a
coating. Anyone know how to make this dish?

They are honey potatoes? Somehow, that doesn't sound exactly
right..............

Or why? Best you talk with your God. I doubt J.D. Simplot has anything
to do with it.

I suppose you could try using a flavor injector to inject honey into
the french fry or use a mashed potato/honey mixture shaped into french
fry like pieces, it sounds like more trouble than it's worth. The
honey would tend to ooze out in the first idea and tend to burn in
both cases.
Actually, it sounds like a plot to induce diabetes.

These were served as an appetizer and were not processed. Truly a
spectacular taste. I've tried drying potatoes and reconstituting them
with a solution of honey and water, reconstituting didn't work very
well.

I did a Google search on "honey French fries" and found a study on fries
immersed in a solution containing honey, ethyl alcohol, and starches. .
Maybe you could try mixing the honey with some vodka or grain alcohol and
marinating the potatoes in that. I would expect them to burn easily.(

When I was a kid (before christ was born), my mother and I used to go to
this place that served fried
chicken and "wedge" fries (almost 1/4 potato) and they served it with
honey. Holy Samolians it was good.

I hope this will be the recipe you were asking for....
Honey Mustard Roasted Potatoes
4 - large potatoes ( about 2 - pounds )
1/2 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried thyme leaves
salt and pepper
Peel potatoes and cut into 6 to 8 pieces. Cover with enough salted water to just cover them, in a large
saocepan. Bring to a boil over medium - high heat. Cook about 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
Combine mustard, honey and thyme in a small bowl. In a large bowl toss potatoes with the honey mixture
until evenly coated. Arrange them on a baking sheet that has been lined with foil and sprayed with
cooking spray. Bake at 375 degrees 20 minutes, or until potatoes begin to brown around the edges. Season
with salt and pepper to taste.
I hope this was the recipe you were looking for. ...Kathleen
